Course/Module description:
A shortened version of the course "Organic Chemistry Lab" (69314), which is designated for the chemistry & biology combined program students.
Includes basic techniques of organic synthesis. Extraction, crystallization, distillation, sublimation, chromatographic separation, and spectroscopic methods. Synthesis: esterification, hydrolysis, addition and elimination reactions, aldol reaction, Grignard reaction.
Course/Module aims:
To get acquainted with the basic techniques in experimental organic chemistry.
The primary goal of this course is to foster independence in safe implementation of basic experimental procedures to achieve a stated objective. Supporting this are many other goals including meticulous recordkeeping in a laboratory notebook and of spectral data analysis .
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
to synthesize and purify a simple organic compound.
to follow a written procedure in organic chemistry synthesis.
To document the experimental process
To process, analyze and discuss experimental results including spectroscopic analysis.
Attendance requirements(%):
100%
Teaching arrangement and method of instruction:
Laboratory.
Course/Module Content:
Simple distillation, reflux, recrystallization, sublimation, chromatographic separation
Required Reading:
Background, instructions and suggested reading will appear in the course website.
In addition, It is imperative to review the subject of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) as taught in organic chemistry B course. This entails thoroughly reviewing recorded lectures, tergul, and completing worksheets.
Additional Reading Material:
Any book on experimental organic chemistry (e.g. the books by Pavia, Roberts, Vogel, etc)
Grading Scheme :
Written / Oral / Practical Exam 90 %
Essay / Project / Final Assignment / Home Exam / Referat 10 %
Additional information:
Shortened Laboratory Course – 6 hours/5 weeks.
Evaluation and grading criteria will be described to the students in the beginning of the course.
